The approaches described in this section are approaches that could be pursued, but not necessarily approaches that have been previously conceived or pursued. Therefore, unless otherwise indicated, it should not be assumed that any of the approaches described in this section qualify as prior art merely by virtue of their inclusion in this section.
As technology continues to advance, more complex systems are being built and utilized. Such a system can be mechanical, electrical, computational, or of another nature. One example of such a system is a farming seeder, and another example is a database management system (DBMS). The system is typically configurable with a large number of parameters related in various ways, and different combinations of values set for the parameters lead to different performance levels for the system. The large number of parameters and relationships among the parameters and the overall complexity of the system mean that it can be difficult to determine how to operate the system to achieve the best performance level. A person may build up knowledge regarding the system over time. However, resolving an issue encountered by the system may still require more knowledge than available or less time than necessary to explore all existing knowledge.
